Soba restaurant located in the underground shopping street of Keio Golden Center, directly connected to Hatagaya Station on the Keio New Line. The atmosphere of the Golden Center remains old-fashioned, which adds to its charm. Visited for the first time on a day off around 1:30 PM. The restaurant had a retro feel with mostly 2-4 person tables, and it was quite busy. The menu mainly consists of soba dishes, including Izumo Waritsuki Soba, plate soba, and soba with tempura. I ordered the "Tendon Set for 1,000 yen" with cold soba. The dish arrived in about 10 minutes. The tempura bowl included shrimp, fish, eggplant, onion, broccoli, all in large cuts and crispy. The dipping sauce was not too sweet. There was also a pickled vegetable side dish. The soba was served in a mini size, with a refreshing texture and delicious taste, although I wished there was more. Soba-yu was served at the end. Payment is cash only. I am interested in trying the Waritsuki Soba and cold soba with grated radish next time.

There is a soba restaurant located in the basement of Daiei next to Hatagaya Station. The shop doesn't feel old despite the aging underground mall, but it does give off a cramped impression. The staff were energetic and created a lively atmosphere. The shop was crowded and bustling. I tried the tempura soba, which was voluminous with thick noodles and a very smooth texture. The soba dipping sauce had a rich soy sauce flavor, but the soba noodles were slightly under-drained, resulting in a thinner taste towards the end. The wasabi was unique, with a high water content and a spicy kick. The green onions paired well with the soba. The soba water was a milky and smooth type.

I had a parent and child rice bowl set with warm soba for 830 yen. It was before 12 PM on a weekday and there were several groups of customers. There were many set menu options available. I wanted to avoid fried food, so I chose the parent and child rice bowl with cold soba set. It came with a hearty salad. The cold soba had tempura flakes, thin green onions, and a light dipping sauce. It was a good lunch starter. The parent and child rice bowl was quite unique. It had bite-sized pieces of chicken and egg on top of the rice, without any onions. It was very salty. It was more like a "chicken and egg in soba soup" bowl. It was a bit different from my preference for parent and child rice bowls.

Hatagaya is a place where there are surprisingly few soba restaurants. However, "Yuzunoki" is a valuable restaurant in the soba world of Hatagaya. The menu is not easily visible at first glance, but they have a variety of options, including seasonal dishes. The soba itself is not particularly fragrant but is smooth and easy to eat. They also offer rice bowl dishes such as chicken and egg bowl and pork cutlet bowl. I particularly enjoy the chicken and egg bowl and the pork cutlet bowl. As I get older, I find myself more interested in lighter dishes. I still love rich foods, but lately, when I'm unsure about lunch, I tend to think, "How about having soba?" I feel like I will continue to rely on this place in the future. Thank you for the meal.

I had some business in Hatagaya and decided to have a late lunch afterwards. I had looked up a soba restaurant in Hatagaya Golden Center beforehand, so I went there. Although my main purpose was to eat soba, they had a good deal on rice bowl sets, so I ordered the "Sakura shrimp and egg rice bowl set". In addition to the soba and rice bowl, they also served shredded nagaimo (Japanese yam) which was a nice palate cleanser. I started with the soba, which was delicious in a normal way. Then I tried the rice bowl... it was delicious! It might be the best egg rice bowl I've ever had. Definitely worth a try.

- I had the "Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura Rice Bowl Set (880 yen)". - It's a soba restaurant called "Soba Yuzunoki" directly connected to Hatagaya Station. - I had the limited-time offer "Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura Rice Bowl Set (880 yen)" today. - The set includes a shrimp and vegetable tempura rice bowl and hot soba. - The sweetness of the sauce soaked into the tempura and rice matched perfectly, making it delicious. It was a blissful moment to alternate between the tempura rice bowl and hot soba. - The restaurant has a solid appearance, so it may seem a bit pricey, but if you think about paying 500 yen at a fast-food soba restaurant, getting a proper soba and tempura rice bowl for just around 900 yen is wonderful, don't you think?! - I'm glad I stumbled upon this lovely soba restaurant in Hatagaya. Thank you for the meal. #GoodCostPerformance #Soba #Kakiage #Hatagaya #Lunch

I happened to come to gourmet city for shopping. I walk every day. On this day, I walked all the way from Sasazuka♪ After finishing at the register, I casually looked at the bulletin board and saw a handwritten sign that said "Warakuso Soba Yuzu no Ki 'Udon Day'". What?! Cheap! Only 500 yen and you can choose 4 pieces of tempura♪ Huh? Why udon at a Warakuso Soba restaurant? Yuzu is a fruit tree that is easy to grow in Japan's climate, with records of cultivation dating back to the Nara period. It is said to be able to withstand cold weather to the point where it can be grown even in the Tohoku region, and if planted in a garden, you can enjoy the fruit as well♪ Now, in Japan, there are three major soba types: Izumo Soba, Wanko Soba, and Togakushi Soba. There are various opinions, but in the case of Izumo Soba, it is served in a round lacquerware called "Warikko" with boiled soba on top, served cold as "Warikuso Soba". There is also a warm version called "Kamaage Soba", where soba boiled in a pot or kettle is placed in a bowl without rinsing, and topped with soba broth, broth or condiments. When making soba flour, the peeled soba grains are classified from first flour to fourth flour, but Izumo Soba uses a method called "grinding with husks", where unpeeled soba grains are ground as they are. If you search on the internet, you will find that the roots of Izumo Soba can be traced back to the Edo period, when a tea master named "Fumai Ko" and the seventh lord of Matsue domain, "Matsudaira Harusato", who was known as "Fumai Ko", liked the soba grown in Izumo on his territory, and started putting soba in a samurai bento box. At that time, the Warikko was square or diamond-shaped, and it was said that it was changed to the current circular lacquerware in the Meiji era because the corners of the square-shaped lacquerware were difficult to wash and considered unsanitary. Leaving that aside, I went out on Udon Day! What?! Whitebait rice for 100 yen. Huh, Kenchin Soba for 500 yen! Seriously! Kenchin Soba with tempura is an additional 200 yen! Well, for me, the confirmed tempura choices are eggplant, shrimp, and shiitake mushrooms. My friend also ordered whitebait rice! And then the udon arrived✨ Huh, this clear broth reminds me of the famous yellow curry at the Niigata Bus Center... It looks so clear and transparent! This must not be too salty! Personally, I like it a little salty... I can drink this up easily! The udon is chewy and nice! The thickness is also a 7, just the way I like it♪ The tempura batter is not too thick, and this is really good value for money! Satisfied, satisfied! I'll come back on "Udon Day" next time for sureԅ(¯﹃¯ԅ)

This is a soba restaurant located underground near Hatagaya Station, towards the McDonald's direction. The underground area also has a famous Chinese restaurant and various other shops, but this time I visited this soba restaurant. The interior of the restaurant has about 10 tables, and when I went there, some seats were empty, but by the time I finished eating, it was full, indicating its popularity. Looking at the menu, there were several affordable lunch sets, which was a pleasant surprise considering how prices are increasing at many places for lunch. I ordered the chicken tempura rice bowl and soba set, and it was served in less than 10 minutes. The chicken tempura rice bowl was quite large and tasted great, with the sweet sauce soaking in, crispy coating, and juicy chicken inside. The soba also had a good flavor, making me want to try other soba dishes. The side pickles were also delicious. All of this for 830 yen. The female staff member serving was friendly and left a great impression. The only downside was that it was crowded, but that's understandable considering its popularity. It's a good thing that they are thriving. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely visit again.

When you get off at Hatagaya Station and head towards Daiei underground, you will find a place that is quite crowded during lunchtime. It's best to go a little earlier or later to get in smoothly. Today's order was the seafood tempura set for 1180 yen. The set comes with soba noodles, and the tempura is piled high on top of the rice bowl. The crispy tempura was delicious and very satisfying. Good taste, good value for money. I enjoyed a lunch with a satisfying volume. Thank you for the meal. I wonder what I should eat next time ^_^

I visited "Wariko Soba Yuzunoki" on the Golden Center B1F, just after 12 pm on a day in May 2019. The restaurant was mostly full with customers. I sat at a table alone and ordered the "Oyakodon Set" for ¥830 from the lunch menu, with cold soba. It was served after a 7-8 minute wait. The Oyakodon was slightly on the salty side, but the chicken was tender with a good texture. The small portion of soba was delicious, with a subtle flavor and a strong broth. The overall saltiness of the dishes left an impression. The price of ¥830 seemed reasonable, but the portion size may not be satisfying for male customers. However, female customers may find it sufficient. I personally would prefer a more subtle and refined taste with less salt overall. This restaurant may be better enjoyed by those who prefer simple soba dishes.

Located in the underground food court just outside Hatagaya Station, "Wariko Soba Yuzunoki" is a place I often visit during lunchtime. Their set meals, consisting of soba and rice bowls, are popular choices, with options like oyakodon, tendon, and nikutendon available. The variety is great and the portions are generous. The restaurant itself is not very spacious, so it tends to get crowded during lunch hours. Below are some photos from my visits.

I might revisit and next time, I might go for the soba noodles. Satisfied with both the taste and portion size.

The parent and child bowl was delicious, but unfortunately the soba noodles were too soft. The price for lunch was average.

"Chicken tempura rice bowl set. It reminds me of Wasenben with its simple and delicious taste."

You can also order your favorite tempura individually. The tempura here was quite delicious. The restaurant is quietly located underground at the station, but it is always crowded.
